Notes
The Mavericks have won 12 out of their last 15 games against the Sixers. Philadelphia's roster is in a state of flux after yesterday's trades of Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes. They could have as few as seven players available for tonight's game. The 76ers have lost 9 games in a row by a average of 21.2 points. Samuel Dalembert played the first 8 years of his career in Philadelphia. Since then the Mavs are his fourth team in four years.
